The message for the beloved children of God -Having a Vision !

The message for the beloved children of God -Having a Vision !

The world has lost a beloved friend and mentor to the nations and the people; Nelson Mandela, thousands throng to Soweto stadium to celebrate the life of "Tata Madiba." Tens of thousands of South Africans have joined dozens of world leaders for the national memorial service for former President Nelson Mandela. The sounds of horns and cheering filled the stadium ahead of the ceremony,in South Africa. Rain sent those who arrived early into the stadium's covered the upper deck, in South Africa rain means a blessing. For the Lord does nothing without revealing his secret to his servants. Understand, Nelson Mandela lived a life like no other human being, He had a vision and power from within to stand for a nation and the people. The Bible says, without a vision the people will perish, thank God for His vision and strength. I’m convinced that God has given us the believers a mission also.Through His word, He will give you insight into your spiritual destiny. I believe God wants us to use our hearts and spirit in determining how to best fulfill the mission that is assigned to us. An assignment is a mission or position to which a person is assigned. We can say that wisdom for our assignment is the God-given ability to make a stand on God's word. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14, If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Life knocks us down again and again; it’s easy to lose hope. But it is often not the flashiest or most gifted people who succeed. It is often the humble, dependable ones who tenaciously refuse to give up. In some ways, we can say that wisdom is the God-given ability to see the true nature of things. In addition to everlasting life with him, God gives us a new way of looking at things in the here and now. Paul was given a vision from God, a vision that enabled him to withstand trials and temptations without giving up. President Jacob Zuma said,the former President Nelson Mandela "was one of a kind, a fearless freedom fighter who refused to allow the brutality of the apartheid state to stand in way of the struggle for the liberation of his people." Ask yourself can you stand without giving up? Can you put others before yourself ? Heavenly Father, let us walk wisely and fulfill your God given assignments. Let us discover your assignment that you have placed within us. God has given everyone an assignment, just like President Nelson Mandela. President Barack Obama said, President Nelson Mandela embodied the spirit of "uBuntu", which means "I am because you are". He added that Mandela showed us the power of the possible, the power of taking action. Thank you Lord for the life of "Tata Madiba" for your people and your glory. Thank you Lord for your word.
